Minions: The Rise of Gru
This year, from the biggest global animated franchise in history,
comes the origin story of how the world’s greatest supervillain first met his
iconic Minions, forged cinema’s most despicable crew and faced off against
the most unstoppable criminal force ever assembled in Minions: The Rise
of Gru.
Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Oscar® nominee
Steve Carell) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take
over the world from his basement.
It’s not going particularly well. When Gru crosses paths with the
Minions, including Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto – a new Minion sporting braces
and a desperate need to please – this unexpected family joins forces. Together,
they build their first lair, design their first weapons, and strive to execute
their first missions.
Featuring more spectacular action than any film in Illumination
history and packed with the franchise’s signature subversive humor, Minions:
The Rise of Gru stars a thrilling new cast, including, the Vicious 6: Taraji P. Henson as cool and confident leader Belle
Bottom, whose chain belt doubles as a lethal disco-ball mace; Jean-Claude Van
Damme as the nihilistic Jean Clawed, who’s armed (literally) with a giant
robotic claw; Lucy Lawless as Nunchuck, whose traditional nun’s habit
hides her deadly nun-chucks; Dolph Lundgren as Swedish
roller-skate champion Svengeance, who dispenses his enemies with spin kicks
from his spiked skates; and Danny Trejo as Stronghold, whose giant iron hands
are both a menace to others and a burden to him.
The film also stars Russell Brand as Young Dr. Nefario, an aspiring mad scientist, Michelle Yeoh
as Master Chow, an acupuncturist with mad kung fu skills, and Oscar® winner
Julie Andrews as Gru’s maddeningly self-absorbed mom.
- Minions: The Rise of Gru releases in cinemas nationwide on Friday, July 1.
